Step 3: Meet online once a week for 6 months.
Step 4: If starting a W4AL Hub, travel to our closest accrediting W4AL Hub for two weeks of in-person training and accreditation
Every W4AL Hub can be a potential church that pays for itself
- Or, it can partner with a local church and grow that church
- Or, it can lead to a church plant.
​
A W4AL Hub is a mission in a business. People WILL give their lives to Jesus during the W4AL programs (over 18 000 new believers so far). The church needs to be there to catch the newborn believers.​​
Anecdotes from a W4AL graduate:
"The impact that WORK 4 A LIVING had on my life can only be described as life-changing, even my mindset has changed. One of the main things that I've always wanted to do is to start my own business. At WORK 4 A LIVING we are taught how to do this. We are taught to use our strengths to our advantage. And the things we learn have definitely sharpened my knowledge. I have started a catering business. I wish everyone could join this programme.
I also joined the small group discipleship meetings on Thursdays and am now saving money. The teachings on Wealth Matters, also helped me to learn how to multiply what I had. My life has completely changed as a result of the programme. I can now assist my family financially with the money I make from my business. God has done amazing things for me.”
